Ivana Gottwald

Ivana Grace-Lou Gottwald was born in South Carolina and raised in Palm Springs, California, before moving to the San Francisco Bay Area to explore new media art. She currently works as a digital artist and focuses on graphic, motion, and web design, video editing, photography, and 3D modeling. Driven by the interplay of contrast and juxtaposition, her practice explores contrast: color, type, angle, and alignment with inspiration from Swiss, brutalist, surrealist, and post-punk styles. With a creative approach to compelling multimedia storytelling and campaigns, the results are visually striking, poetic, meaningful, and dynamic designs. She often works within the Adobe Creative Suite, but uses her knowledge of front-end web development, Blender, and various other programs to bring ideas to life.
